Joshua Hall is an intelligent and promising college sophomore. But when he accidentally witnesses Sara Wilder, a new and quirky acquaintance, receive an eldritch mark of possibility from her mother, everything changes. Josh can now see marks, eldritch symbols of power brought from another plane of existence that empower the weak and the futureless, that are invisible to most. But that's not the only thing that he's seeing, as strange dreams haunt Josh's sleep and threaten to destroy his sanity. With his mind and body struggling to handle the impossible things he can now perceive, Josh has to decide: accept a mark himself, or attempt to forget everything.
This is a bit of an experimental project for me, as it isn't my norm in genre or topic.
Expect:
-Slow build storytelling
-Character details
-Foreshadowing
-Dialogue driven narrative
-Dynamic action scenes
-Some mild graphic descriptions of injury
-Sexuality is a factor
-No explicit content (at least not directly)
-Mild body horror
-Light cosmic horror
Reviews and critique are highly encouraged. I am a civil and fair responder, don't be afraid to initiate a conversation.
